Well, i have been looking for rims for a while and can't really find one in my price range or one that I like, so i need some opinions. Normally, i've been liking 5 spoke rims but now i am expanding my rim selection. What do you guys think of this one.

They remind me of eclipse wheels. Can't say they're my piece of cake, but it is your car, so that's just my .02.

picking out rims is tough. No one can be satisfied with just one set, you will always think of how your car would look with different wheels.

Thanks... good links. My budget aint to bad, but you figure, I live in Hawaii which makes shipping KILLER!!! and that means less to spend on rims. So thats the only problem, and the shops down here killer mark up, its ridiculous. So thats why i'm trying to get them off the hawaii forum and classifieds.

So thats the only problem, and the shops down here killer mark up, its ridiculous.  Letīs just say it like this (in numbers per example  )...my rims were ordered in Croatia from the US, and bought for the price of merely 250 Euros (That is about 350 US$) a piece (ofcourse, the tires are a bit excluded from this amount, and without going into details, let me just say that the price of tires more or less equals the price of the rims ), whilst a monthīs worth paycheck equals about 500 Euros (or about 700 US$), with which everything has to be settled...bills, food, apt, gas, etc...Oh yeah---a full tank of gas over here costs about 60 Euros (or about 80 US$), so without at least two jobs, cruising is NOT an option! Believe me, Hawaii shopping for rims and tires sounds like a good deal to me! Actually, sounds like paradise!
